It was about The dream of buying a cruising boat and heading off to foreign anchorages. It's now about the voyage and the experiences we will have while sailing through South Pacific Islands such as Vanuatu, Fiji and New Caledonia.

Passage Update
We have been a bit slack with updating the blog lately. This is because we are enroute to Vanuatu. Our passage so far has been a 600 mile sail from Manly, Brisbane to Chesterfield reef. Where we spent 2 days diving and exploring the island and surrounding reef. Then another 300 mile sail to Huon reef for more diving and some running repairs on the boat and system. We departed yesterday evening from Huon reef bound for Port villa, Vanuatu and are currently 140 miles into our 360 mile route. This leg is all upwind and we are currently beating our way into a 22 knot East South Easterly. Not very comfortable but we are making good progress with slightly cracked sheets to prevent pounding. We are hoping to be tied up in Port villa on the 13th May all going well.
